Succotash Shut-In

Succotash Chats Epi148: Jawin' with Jimmy Pardo

Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast, was launched in 2011 with the idea of promoting comedy soundcasts in what was then a marketplace still trying to find its way. By featuring short clips of shows being produced by funny folks both known and unknown, we like to feel that we maybe had a little tiny, eeny weeny, itsy bitsy bit to do with helping to ignite the torch of soundcasts across the globe! (But then we've always had a rather high opinion of ourselves...)

Original show host and executive producer Marc Hershon, along with booth announcer Bill Heywatt, engineer/producer Joe Paulino, associate producer Tyson Saner, musical director Scott Carvey, and booth assistant Kenny Durgis have kept the flame alive o'er these many years. In 2018, Hershon abandoned the host chair and anointed Saner to the position, with nary a notice from the legions of listeners. Typical.

I’ve
spoken with Jimmy a couple of times while I was at the Los Angeles
Podcast Festival but this is the first time I got to yack it up
with him mano y mano.

We talk
about his Never Not Funny soundcast, now in its 11th
year, and how he was one of the first guys to cast his line out
into the soundcast pond. We also talk about his upcoming
Pardcast-a-thon 2017. It's 12 straight hours of live soundcasting
for a good cause.

And
although he won’t come right out and say who his guests are, he
does hint around enough that you should be able to get a good idea
of who is going to drop by to help him out next Saturday, March
4th.

ELSEWISE

Also in
this edition of Succotash we have an installment of our
Burst O’ Durst segment, with political wag and social
gadfly Will
Durst, and a visit to the Tweetsack to read your
tweets and emails. And the whole hot mess is brought you by
Henderson’s Accountant Pants.

REVIEWS

ALSO CHECK
OUT

I wanted
to do a quick shout out to our associate producer Tyson Saner. I’ve
got an arsenal full of podcast clips that Tyson has harvested and I
will be unleashing them in the next edition of this very
soundcast. But I wanted to let you know that Tyson has teamed
up with a big soundcast listener and supporter, Hunter
Block, to bring you a show of their very own. That’s
right. It’s called The Anti Social Show, and it’s up on
SoundCloud.

And that
is pretty much that. The best way for you to help pass the
Succotash is to let your friends and family know that they
can get it in a ton of different places: The Laughable app, iTunes,
Stitcher, SoundCloud, Overcast, Podbay, iHeart Radio, YouTube, on
our Facebook page, and even right from our homesite at
SuccotashShow.com!
